Badge Maker

A badge maker allows you to make custom wearable button badges. The badge design can be hand-drawn or designed on a computer using software such as Inkscape, Affinity Designer, or Adobe Illustrator.

Using the Badge Maker

The badge maker can be used during Creative Times or during select programming. We also have badge makers that rotate around our libraries network during special events, and holiday seasons. Keep an eye on our events calendar for special events in your local library.
